Community Bank Highett

Supporting a thriving community, together

Community Bank Highett is a purpose-driven organisation that returns up to 80% of profits back into the community through partnerships and grants — more than $3.8 million invested so far.

This profit-for-purpose model exists because people choose to bank locally.

Our Community Investment Program supports local events, sporting clubs, and community groups, and in return, partners help promote our services within the community — creating a cycle of shared growth.

Every account. Every loan. Every service.

All powering local impact.
